Sometimes the Fantasy may very well be greater than the Reality

Ok this is about to ruffle some feathers but ya know, my name wouldn't be Katrina if I didn't. I can tell you that at least 20% of people that I connect with run into what I would see as a simple problem but beginning to realize that it's not so simple. So lets start with a little story.

Picture this...
On the GOLDEN GIRLS (one of my Absolutely favorite shows of all time.. to the point of watching 3x's per day just to get me through my dark moments) .. you know I actually see myself in all 4 of those characters ? Hmm where was I? Ohhh yes!

Blanche had wanted to sleep with a particular man named HAM (for short) in high school but he would never give her the time of day.She claims that every woman wanted HAM. He was captain of the football team, Was the most gorgeous man there with a beautiful body to match everything so wonderful about him. One day out of the blue, some 40+ years later, he contacts her because he's in Florida and asks could they get together for dinner. Well Blanche was still determined to sleep with this HAM although he was no longer the "Gorgeous man" that she was so hung up on. He actually had put on 200lbs and he was literally a "HAM" in her eyes. Although very unattractive to Blanche, she still wanted him because she had "FANTASIZED" over being with him for so long, she was out to finally fill her quest of being with the one and only HAM.
When HAM explained why he never gave her time in their earlier years, he realized that he had made a mistake and was finally ready to spend the night with Blanche some 40 years later. Well, after Blanche had fantasized over Ham for so long, she realized that once her fantasy could finally come true, it wasn't even worth her time of day. She wasn't even attracted to him but she figured the Fantasy was greater than the reality.

The Moral of the story in "REAL LIFE" issues. Sometimes we go after something that "APPEARS" to be great, loving, affectionate and who would literally put you on cloud nine FOREVER. Sometimes you have to realize that this special person may have only the fantasy portions to offer you and it's not forever.
We get caught up in the fantasy world which is fine, but to make the best decision for you. Know your truth and walk away from something that you know couldn't last past the fantasy :)
